While most cornerstone genres, like rock, hip hop and country, were developed predominantly in the US and Britain, reggae originated in 1960s Jamaica. Similar to hip hop, reggae got its name from a popular song – namely Toots and the Maytals’ 1968 hit single Do The Reggay.

Country music has been making a revival in recent years, with huge pop acts like Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Ke$ha, and Justin Timberlake infusing this style into their most recent albums. However, the genre can be traced all the way back to the 1920s.
